WHO GETS THE MONEY? –– NINTH ANNUAL EDITION

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, December 1998:

This is our ninth annual report on the budgets, assets,
and salaries paid by the major U.S. animal-related charities,
listed on the following pages, together with a handful of local
activist groups and humane societies, and some prominent
organizations abroad, whose data we offer for comparative
purposes. Statistics from foreign organizations are stated in
U.S. dollars, at 1997 average exchange rates.
Most charities are identified in the second column by
apparent focus: A for advocacy, C for conservation of habitat
via acquisition, E for education, H for support of hunting
(either for “wildlife management” or recreation), L for litigation,
N for neutering, P for publication, R for animal rights, S
for shelter/sanctuary maintenance, V for focus on vivisection
issues, and W for animal welfare. The R and W designations
are used only if a group makes a point of being one or the other.

Charities of unique purpose may not have a designation letter.
While many groups are involved in multiple activities,
space limits us to providing only three identifying letters.
Except where otherwise stated, the financial data
comes from current Internal Revenue Service Form 990 filings,
covering either calendar year or fiscal year 1997.
To put these numbers in context, consider that the
National Charities Information Bureau requires approved charities
to spend at least 60% of their budgets on programs, not
including direct mail associated with fundraising. This standard
is stricter––and more indicative of priorities––than the IRS
rules, which allow charities to write off some direct mail costs
as program service under the heading of “public education.”
Thus the figures that charities declare and the figures
as amended in accordance with NCIB guidelines often differ.
T h e % column states each charity’s overhead and fundraising
costs as declared to the IRS. The ADJ column states those
costs as they appear to be under NCIB guidelines, which we
apply in simplified form, asking of any mailing, “Would this
have been sent if postal rules forbade the inclusion of a donor
card and a return envelope?” If the answer is no, the mailing
should properly be considered “fundraising,” not “program.”
Differences between the declared and adjusted balance
between program and fundraising/overhead spending
appear in boldface. For certain smaller charities, which use
Form 990-EZ instead of the longer Form 990, we cannot accurately
separate program expenses and overhead. However,
since such charities rarely have paid staff or do much fundraising,
one can presume a heavy tilt toward program service.
Groups which collect interest on large endowments
tend to have less overhead because they are not obliged to
spend as much on fundraising.
Shelters, sanctuaries, and some activist groups
which rely heavily on volunteer labor and donated supplies by
contrast tend to have “high” overhead because much of their
program activity doesn’t show up in strict cash accounting.
The practice of ascribing direct mailings to program
service instead of fundraising reflects the common but erroneous
belief that the best-run organizations have the lowest
fundraising and other overhead costs relative to program service.
But calling direct mail appeals “program service” in the
name of humane education has devalued the very concept of
humane education to the point that fundraising for genuine
humane education and outreach has become a very hard sell.
The seventh through ninth columns provide data on
assets. Italics indicate a deficit. Note that shelters and sanctuaries
tend to have more fixed assets (property and equipment)
due to the nature of their work. Do not expect total assets to
match the sum of fixed assets plus cash and securities. These
are the major asset categories, but the totals include others such
as inventory, and may also be reduced by liabilities.
The NCIB also suggests that, “Usually, the organization’s
net assets available for the following fiscal year should
not be more than twice the higher of the current year’s expenses
or the next year’s budget.” However, not all cash and securities
are actually available; many older organizations derive half or
more of their income from interest.

NOTES
A – The American
Anti-Vivisection
Society, founded in
1883, received only
7% of its 1997
income from membership
dues and
public donations.
35% came from
bequests, legacies,
and trusts, and 57%
from investments.
B – The American
Humane Assn. spent
$3,395,328 on animal
protection programs
in 1997, and
spent $2,723,979 on
child protection programs.
Founded in
1876, AHA has had
separate animal and
child protection divisions
since 1878.
C – Many Canadian
animal advocacy
organizations which
would qualify for
charitable status in
the U.S. are denied
status in Canada due
to their opposition to
hunting, trapping,
sealing, and animal
use in laboratories.
D – Data is from balance
sheet, either
provided to membership
or on request.
E – The Animal
Refuge Foundation
had no salaried
administrative staff
and did no direct
mailing in 1997.
F – The Animal
Rescue League h a d
revenue of $19.2
million in 1997. Of
the assets, $20.1
million were in
restricted funds. In
early 1997, the
Boston PatriotLedger
disclosed that
a house and 69 acres
bought in 1994 as
intended site of an
animal shelter––with
funds from a 1986
bequest––had been
used as home of the
ARL education director.
The site was
described by ARL
as a wildlife refuge,
yet was not posted
against hunting until
1997, wrote Dorothy
Checci O’Brien, a
longtime humane
activist and critic of
Boston-area humane
societies’ dealings.
G – Refused or did
not respond to direct
request for current
Form 990.
H – The Ark Trust
had a 1997 operating
deficit of $271,508.
I – See article re Best
Friends, page 14.
J – The Brian
Davies Foundation
manages investments
for the five U.S.-
based affiliates of the

International Fund
for Animal Welfare.
IFAW, internationally,
consists of 16
related organizations
in all, each with a
specialized function.
Cumu-latively, the
three U.S.-based
IFAW affiliates for
which we have 1997
data spent 42% of
their budgets on
fundraising and overhead
by their own
assessment, and 62%
according to the
adjustment based on
the NCIB standards
that we apply to all
listed organizations.
However, we did not
receive Form 990
from the I F A W
Animal Action Committee,
a lobbying
arm, nor from the
IFAW Holding Co.,
which keeps the
IFAW aircraft. Their
data might tip the balance
back toward program
service.
K – Compassionate
Crusaders Trust i s
located at 1/13A,
Olai Chandi Road,
Calcutta 37, India.
L – Earth Island
I n s t i t u t e in 1997
received $2,958,588
via foundation grants..
M – EarthJustice
was known until
August 1, 1997 as the
Sierra Club Legal

Defense Fund. I t
separated from the
Sierra Club in 1970.
N – Data is as reported
in the 11/5/98 edition
of The Chronicle of
Philanthropy.
O – Equus Rescue &
S a n c t u a r y claimed to
have sheltered 180
horses throughout
1997, and to have
added 36 more during
the year, for a total of
216. The stated horse
care expeditures were
$102,721 for feed,
$12,660 for veterinary
care, and $5,781 for
farrier service––or
$475 per horse for
feed, amounting to
$1.30 per day, less
than half the per day
cost of feed at other
nearby horse sanctuaries;
$58.61 per horse
for vet care; and
$26.76 per horse for
farrier care, which
might cover one hooftrimming
per horse
during the year. “Her
horses are in bad
shape,” Leo Grillo of
DELTA Rescue
charged in a fax to
ANIMAL PEOPLE
on Nov. 5, 1998.
Grillo in 1995 helped
Equus avoid imminent
bankruptcy, but severed
his involvement
less than two months
later, he reported in a
1997 mass mailing,
saying Equus founder
Linda Moss h a d
neglected veterinary
care and plagiarized
fundraising materials.
Intl. Generic Horse
A s s n . / H o r s e A i d

founder Enzo Giobbe
has also accused Moss
of plagiarism.
P – F A C T w h o l l y
owns Nest Eggs Inc.,
a for-profit firm which
markets eggs from socalled
free-range hens.
Q – Global Communications
for Conserv
a t i o n declared a debt
of $350,084 to GCC
president Laura Utley,
under the heading
“Loans from officers,
directors, and key
employees,” along
with debts of $244,650
to Bentley Blum,
$75,008 to the B e r k –
shire Coal Corp., and
$2,000 to K r a f t
Capital Corp.
R – The International
Wildlife Coalition, as
part of program service,
granted $71,184
to the Animal Alliance
of Canada.
S – Last Chance For
A n i m a l s’ executive
director Eric Mindel
wrote on November
20, 1998, that at the
close of the LCA fiscal
year ending in 1998,
“It looks as if we’ll
come in at, according
to our unaudited figures,
70% program
and 22% combined
cost of administration
and fundraising. Income
increased significantly.
The biggest
impact on lowering
fundraising was that
we did not renew a
direct mail consulting
contract. Overhead
expense was also driven
down by more
efficient use of volunteers,
reorganization
of employee duties,
and pursuit of more inkind
donations to
cover costs that would
have been overhead.”
T – Living Free f i l e d
as a private foundation,
i.e. a charitable
trust which does not
raise funds from the
public. In June 1998,
president S u n d e r l a n d
Everstill i n s t i t u t e d
“budget cuts in all
areas,” because, he
said, expenses were
threatening to erode
the $3 million endowment
left by founder
Emily Jo Beard, who
died in 1989.
U – The National
A n t i – V i v i s e c t i o n
Society appears to be
the only organization
whose financial statements
we examined
this year which paid
board members not
otherwise employed by
the organization a uniform
stipend for board
service: $2,000 each
in 1997. The National
Charities Information
Bureau and
Philanthropic
Advisory Service of
the Council of Better

Business Bureaus view such stipends as
presenting a conflict of interest. Many
charities do reimburse board members
for specific expenses incurred on board
business––usually traveling long distances
to attend board meetings. NAVS is
located in Chicago. Only two of the
seven NAVS board members live outside
the Chicago area.
V – The National Canine Defence League
is based in London, England.
W – Pet Savers is a subsidiary of the
North Shore Animal League.
X – The Ocean Mammal Institute realized
$47,538 in program service revenue
during 1997, principally by recruiting
volunteers who pay to participate in
research directed by OMI president
Marsha Green. Green’s use of her
National Marine Fisheries Serviceissued
research permit as basis for activity
promoted, in effect, as eco-tourism
has been questioned, as ANIMAL PEOP
L E detailed in “Licensed to kill,”
cover, September 1997. Of most concern
to NMFS was an incident in which
artist Robert Wyland allegedly harrassed
a humpback whale and her calf while
working under Green’s permit.
Y – The Peregrine Fund received U.S.
government grants of $2,077,086 in
1997, to fund endangered species recovery
work. Contrary to federal disclosure
law, the Peregrine Fund did not publish
executive and board compensation data.
Z – The Societe Protectrice des
Animaux de Lyon et du Sud-Est i s
located in Lyon, France.
a – The Wildlife Conservation Society
program budget included expenditures of
$37.6 million to operate the Bronx Zoo;
$10.5 million to operate the New York
Aquarium; $11.1 million to operate the
Central Park, Queens, and Prospect Park
Wildlife Centers; $8.6 million for international
conservation and research programs;
and $1.7 million for publication
of Wildlife Conservation magazine.
b – The World Wildlife Fund d u r i n g
1997 received $16,230,524 from the U.S.
Agency for International Development,
an arm of the U.S. government.

INDIVIDUAL COMPENSATION (EXECUTIVES, DIRECTORS, TOP-PAID STAFF AND CONSULTANTS)

The Pay column below combines salaries,
benefit plan contributions for those whose organizations
have a benefit plan, and expense accounts for the relative
handful of individuals who are not required to itemize
expenses. Individual independent contractors such
as attorneys, accountants, and consultants are listed as
well as directors and regular staffers.
The IRS no longes requires disclosure of nonboard
compensation of under $50,000.
Five sets of salary norms appear in boldface.
Norms identified as SAWA come from the Society of
Animal Welfare Administrators annual survey of
Salary and Personnel Practices. Since SAWA does not
see fit to share the findings, we are obliged to use
leaked and therefore possibly incomplete data. Norms
identified as C&L come from the Coopers & Lybrand
publication Compensation in Not-for-Profit
Organizations. Norms identified as AL&A come from
a survey of 1,377 nonprofit organizations conducted by
Abbott, Langer & Associates, as summarized in the
September 6, 1994 edition of The Chronicle of
Philanthropy, adjusted for 3% annual inflation. Norms
identified as TP come from a Towers Perrin survey of
380 U.S. charities, as summarized in the September 19,
1996 edition of the Chronicle of Philanthropy. Norms
identified as C H R N were determined within 1997 or
1998 by The Chronicle of Philanthropy itself.
Volunteer organization heads and other
unpaid senior staff are listed only if working in that
capacity full-time or nearly full-time.
